BTW - Matt, would an e-mail asking for link exchanges between web sites be
considered "commercial". What about unsolicited political or non-profit
e-mails? Also, regarding any major ISPs definitions of spam being any
unsolicited message, I wonder how many actually enforce that? And, of the
ones which do enforce it, I wonder many of these also block mail where one
of their users simply forgot he subscribed to something or was just too lazy
to unsubscribe and simply reported the non spam as spam. I've heard some
horror stories where AOL blocked double-opt-in newsletters because of
misguide complains from customers complaining about mail that they had
actually opted into.
Hi,
Just my two cents but if something shows up in one of my domain
management email addresses that is not from our registrar or from ARIN,
it gets added to my rbl and my badmailfrom list, especially web link
exchange requests.
I'm what you might consider a mid-sized to large ISP and I really don't
need a thousand link requests a day to webmaster or dns just because we
host that domain.
Same goes for political and non-profit UCE's.
My personal address I'm a bit more lenient on but I add hundreds of IP's
a day to our RBL.
Regards,
Rick
